The permissions should be pretty open, but since there is more than one 
installation script and more than one way to run them, it's hard for me to 
guess without seeing them. That said...

I'm guessing that you are having problems with the HOSTALLOW permissions, 
so you need to check them on both the submit computer and the central manager.

Look in the config files, or do

  condor_config_val HOSTALLOW_WRITE
  condor_config_val HOSTALLOW_READ
  ...

More information about these parameters is in the Security section of the 
Condor manual, particularly 3.7.5.3.

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.6/3_7Security_In.html#SECTION00475300000000000000

If your HOSTALLOW expressions look correct, then you might be having 
problems with DNS. For instance, if you have:

  HOSTALLOW_WRITE = *.cs.wisc.edu

then when a computer connects from IP address 128.105.121.21, Condor 
figures out what name that corresponds to, and checks it against the 
HOSTALLOW_WRITE expression. If the lookup fails, you will have problems. So 
double check that your DNS lookups are working as expected.
